How does one go about making DLLs with MinGW32? I've tried reading docs =
online but none have been all too clear. I've played with dlltool and =
dllwrap, but I haven't gotten one (DLL) that'll work with Eu's open_dll. =
Could someone tell me the steps I'd need to take assuming MinGW32 (GCC =
2.95.2)? Thanks in advance.
WARNING: C code to follow.
WITH THESE FILES:
MYDLL.C Source File
DLLINIT.C DLL Initialization (DllMain) ** What should I code for =
this?
LIBMYDLL.A Library to be made so I can access my DLL from C (not have =
to use LoadLibrary())
MYDLL.DLL Outputted DLL file that can be called from anything =
supporting DLLs
Instead of putzing with .DEFs, I put some kind of "export" command in =
front of my routines.
Ex. Want to export "TheAnswerIsThree"
_export int TheAnswerIsThree() //pointless, I know
{
return 3;
}
I am basing the _export off what I saw in the included API files. What =
should I use for that?
I'd like what I could do step by step at probably a DOS command prompt.
